LOS ANGELES. — The drama between Pedro Jimeno and Chantel Everett may have legally ended with their divorce, but the accusations are far from over. In a shocking revelation during a recent interview, Pedro’s current flame, Sophie Sierra, disclosed that the Dominican Republic native is still harboring deep resentment—specifically regarding a staggering $265,000 he claims was stolen from him.
The Allegation: A Bank Account Drained?
During the interview, Sophie revealed the version of the story Pedro has been feeding her behind the scenes. According to Sophie, Pedro remains adamant that Chantel «stole» the $265k from their joint bank account as their marriage crumbled. «He told me it was his money,» Sophie admitted, clearly shaken by the narrative Pedro has maintained throughout their time together on The Single Life Season 5.
The Truth: Legal Protection or Petty Theft?
However, the narrative took a sharp turn when fellow franchise star Cortney Reardanz stepped in to set the record straight. Supporting Chantel, Cortney explained that the «theft» was actually a strategic legal move.
«She did not steal,» Cortney clarified. «She was working; it was her money, her name was on the account.» The reality is that Chantel reportedly withdrew the funds because she feared Pedro would funnel the entire amount to the Dominican Republic before the divorce was finalized. Furthermore, Chantel reportedly handed the money over to the court so it could be divided legally—a detail Pedro conveniently left out of his conversations with Sophie.
Family Feuds and «Chantel Flashbacks»
The financial drama comes on the heels of an explosive family dinner where Pedro introduced Sophie to his mother, Lidia, and sister, Nicole. The meeting quickly spiraled into chaos, ending with Sophie being kicked out of the party after calling Lidia a «f***ing mom.»
Pedro’s reaction? Comparing Sophie to Chantel. «He’s getting flashbacks,» fans noted, as Pedro questioned if Sophie was just as «difficult» as his ex-wife. Viewers have since trolled Pedro online, pointing out that in both relationships, the common denominator is his family’s toxic behavior—not the women he dates.
